I hope this will help spur flight sim development. Now that we have so many spacey games in the works...maybe the flight sim is ready for a comeback :)
Do we know if it will use the steam workshop to make modding and additions easier to apply? Will you be able to buy add-ons through it as well?
If so, this might be something that finally gets me to jump in.....

No worries at all...didn't take offense...to be honest, never saw that movie either:) I was probably too busy trying to decide the next game I was going to purchase instead:)

Even without Steam Workshop, adding add-ons is already easy. Just slap it in the right directory, no text file editing like the other sim. That's why I prefer it more than FSX now.
What I like for a Steam version is auto update. I had problems updating before using the updater.
More users will be good.
And no more DVD in drive DRM.
I've been tempted by this for ages as an alternative to FSX, although the price has put me off. I also read that there is a lot of map area that is pretty devoid of detail. Can anyone confirm / deny?

Confirm. Just green grass and roads. Cities are suburbs. Airports have no buildings. That's why I spend most of my time editing scenery.
Have you tried this Jomni? http://www.alpilotx.net/downloads/x-plane-10-hd-scenery-mesh-v2/ (http://www.alpilotx.net/downloads/x-plane-10-hd-scenery-mesh-v2/)
Not yet. Because it doesn't cover my area of operations (Asia).
Pay attention, ladies. Its out.
Hey Huw!
Looks like it's available in Linux!

Yeah and I wouldn't mind having it at all, but I can't devote the time to it right now. Bloody tempting though, and a real boon for the Linux community. :)
It doesn't choose an OS. The physical version is usable in Windows, Mac, Linux.
I still plan to purchase X-Plane even though I am heavily vested in FSX...... just flew the PMDG 747 last night and decided not to purchase the 777 @ $90 (I want to, but I can buy so many games I will never play for that amount)..... ::) I need to watch some more vids as I followed the development of 10 but have not revisited in a long while.

Oh.... one of the main reason is I can pickup X-Plane and the 777 Worldliner for roughly the same price once I get the discount for X-Plane as opposed to purchasing the PMDG 777. Good to have choices!

Yahoo!!! Japan is now available!
Here are some of my scenery with the new mesh. It apparently also alters roads and landclass. :)

Looks good!
Can you import that map into SB Pro for Asid and me, jomni? ;)
I just wish I had a Aerosoft Twin Otter or Lionheart Kodiak Quest to fly in X-Plane. I wonder how hard it would be to take your FSX assets and just create a X-Plane version. You already have the models, etc....I don't' get it. :(

Eat that FSX!
Impressive.
Looks like you're getting low framerates, Jomni. :-\

Look at it, dude. Nothing is moving. Duh!
A few posts ago your framerate was showing 19 and 26.
Don't get me wrong, I only dream of 26 on any game made since 2005, but to many gamers that would be unacceptable!
Yes. I had to turn down detail after that.
The new Japan mesh add-on added a lot of buildings as well.
See this is on sale at steam for 33% off...
